> This article I wrote looks at the general hypocrisy of blaming Verisign 
> for doing something others already do with impunity. Not that Verisign is 
> blameless, as I write in the piece -- they ran roughshod over the basic 
> communitarian ethos of the Internet in other ways. But we should think 
> about what we are blaming them for, which are the right reasons and which 
> are the wrong ones.
